Strategy

Since the acquisition in 2019, Tréfilunion has undergone an intensive restructuring process to return the company to profitability. Management has made significant investments to modernize and renew production facilities, while carefully monitoring operating expenses and cash balances.

TréfilUnion is taking a clear strategic step towards its more profitable market segments, including bare and copper-plated wires, enamelled wires and high carbon wires, with the aim of better serving its customers in the automotive, packaging and construction industries. In this perspective, Tréfilunion has developed a clear sales strategy to recover volumes from selected customers for its highest quality items. In 2021, management will support this strategy by increasing the capacity of its most valuable assets at the Commercy and Sainte-Colombe-sur-Seine plants. The company will invest in the expansion of the paint line and stranding lines and improve the quality of the pickling line.
